He is a minor celebrity in his town. What makes this kitten so popular is the unusual color of its coat. His jade-shaded coat leaves no one indifferent among the customers of the store where he spends most of his time.

In a stationery store in the town of Hrodna, in western Belarus, you can meet an adorable kitten whose appearance is quite surprising. Its originally red coat has shades of green, reports The Dodo.
He is part of a litter of little felines that was born in a neighboring village. Its siblings have classic coat colors. It was adopted by Sergey Viktorovichowner of the store in question where the young twink spends a large part of his days.
For the Belarusian papermaker, this creature is a “ miracle of nature “. He explains to The Dodo that the kitten was seen by a veterinarian and confirmed that it was in good health.
Sergey Viktorovich searched for a name for his feline friend for a long time and even asked for help from Internet users through the account Instagram dedicated to his business. He ended up choosing one that means “eraser” in his language.
A particularity of genetic origin
It is known that some puppies are born with a green coat, like Olive the Golden Retriever Foucherans (39) et Chloé the female French Bulldog. For these young canines, the explanation lies in the presence of biliverdin, a bile pigment, in the placenta during the mother’s pregnancy. This is not the case with this kitten.
The green coloring of its coat would be of genetic origin. “ The vet said he had a malfunction in a gene responsible for color “, noted Sergey Viktorovich.
This particularity has no impact on his state of health or his well-being. Its owner describes it as “ active, playful, curious and affectionate ».
The shopkeeper doesn’t know if the green will fade over time, but whatever happens, it won’t change the love that Sergey Viktorovich and his whole family have for him. He says even his dog, a Pembroke Welsh Corgi, loves the kitten.
